When Daylight Savings Time ends in 2023, you'll be ready with these tips!

It's that time of year again! The time when we all lose an hour of sleep and have to adjust to the darker evenings. But don't worry, we've got you covered with these tips to help you make the transition as smooth as possible.

1. Start adjusting your sleep schedule a few days before the time change.

This will help your body to slowly get used to the new sleep schedule. Try going to bed and waking up 15-30 minutes earlier each day until you reach the desired time.

2. Get exposure to natural light during the day.

This will help to keep your circadian rhythm in check and ease the transition into the darker evenings. Make sure to get outside for a walk or some other activity during the daytime.

3. Avoid screens for a few hours before bed.

The blue light from screens can disrupt your sleep, so it's best to avoid them in the few hours before bed. Instead, try reading or listening to calm music to help you relax and fall asleep.

4. Make your bedroom dark and cool.

Creating a dark and cool environment in your bedroom will help signal to your body that it's time to sleep. Try using an eye mask and earplugs to block out any light and noise.

5. Get up and move around every few hours.

Sitting or lying down for long periods of time can make you feel more tired, so it's important to get up and move around every few hours. Taking a short walk or doing some light stretching can help to increase your energy levels.

following these tips, you'll be well on your way to smoothly transitioning into Daylight Savings Time!
